[Bug 1027538] [NEW] Bad handle of # for comments in munin-node config file

[Thomas]

Public bug reported:

My config :
Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release:	12.04

Package:
munin-node:
  Installé : 1.4.6-3ubuntu3.1
  Candidat : 1.4.6-3ubuntu3.1
 Table de version :
 *** 1.4.6-3ubuntu3.1 0
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.4.6-3ubuntu3 0
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages

Found this problem using a # in a password for Mysql user root with a config file containing things like that :
[mysql*]
user root
env.mysqlopts --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
env.mysqluser root
env.mysqlpassword test#test

Searching in the code, I've solved the problem (for me) changing line 96 of /usr/share/perl5/Munin/Common/Config.pm :
- $_[0] =~ s/#.*//;
+ $_[0] =~ s/(^|\s+)#.*//;
